On Tuesday, harsh sounds were again heard from Iran. On Tuesday, President Ebrahim Raisi threatened Israel with the destruction of the cities of Haifa and Tel Aviv. Even the “smallest mistake against the security of our country” would generate harsh answers and lead to the destruction of the two major cities on the Mediterranean coast, Raisi explained.
According to experts, the long-standing conflict between Israel and the Islamic Republic has intensified in recent weeks. The Israeli air force repeatedly bombed targets in the civil war country of Syria, which Iran supports politically and militarily.
An Iranian officer who was staying as a military adviser near the capital Damascus was also reportedly killed. Iran has been expanding its influence in the region for years. Israel is concerned about Iran’s controversial nuclear program.
Iran is not threatening Israel with destruction for the first time
Iranian presidents have threatened archenemy Israel with destruction in the past. Hardliner Mahmud Ahmadinejad, who was president from 2005 to 2013, was particularly controversial.
Raisi came to power in the summer of 2021. The conservative cleric’s style of government has since been widely criticized. April 18 is a holiday in the Islamic Republic in honor of the National Armed Forces, on which large military parades are held.
